distribution revolution, today announced financial results for the third
quarter fiscal 2013 which ended December 31, 2012.
Quarterly Highlights Include:
* Consolidated revenues up 17% to $23.2 million and consolidated adjusted
EBITDA increased to $14.5 million from $14.3 million in the year-ago
period
* Non deployment revenues up 53% to $9.6 million and non-deployment adjusted
EBITDA up 58% from year-ago period to $2.2 million

Third Quarter Fiscal 2013 Results
Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were $23.2 million, a 17%
increase from $19.8 million in the third quarter a year ago. The increase in
revenues was primarily the result of strong performance in Cinedigm’s
Entertainment Group (CEG), including results from the New Video acquisition,
which closed in April 2012, as well as continued steady results from the
Company’s recurring revenue digital cinema servicing and software platforms.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing
operations totaled $14.5 million, an increase from $14.3 million in the
year-ago period. Excluding Cinedigm’s deployment business, Adjusted EBITDA
from continuing non-deployment operations was $2.2 million, an increase of 58%
from the year ago period and an increase of 81% from the previous quarter.
Non-Deployment EBITDA in the quarter included $0.4 million of film
distribution costs incurred in the quarter as CEG ramped up its film releasing
business, building toward a goal of 20-25 releases per year. These third
quarter distribution costs were incurred in advance of any home entertainment
revenues for those film releases, which will be realized in subsequent
periods.
Consolidated net loss decreased to $1.8 million or $0.03 per share for the
quarter compared to a consolidated net loss of $10.6 million or $0.28 per
share in the comparable prior year period, and a net loss of $2.6 million or
$0.06 per share in the preceding quarter.
Digital Cinema Deployment Highlights:
* Cinedigm experienced the third highest installation quarter in its
history, installing 835 digital systems as the Phase 2 installation period
ended at January 31^st, 2013.
* Cinedigm’s US and Canadian digital cinema deployment currently totals
11,697 screens installed with 269 exhibitor partners, representing in
excess of 70% of all North American exhibitors and approximately 40% of
all North American digital cinema screens.
* Cinedigm is finalizing contracts to bring its Virtual Print Fee (VPF)
program to drive in movie theatres.
* Also in the quarter, the Company signed its first large scale
international deployment with Caribbean Theaters, with installations to
commence in the fourth quarter.
Entertainment Distribution Highlights:
* The Company’s fiscal year 2013 movie release, “The Invisible War,” was
nominated for an Academy Award® in the Best Feature Documentary category
and is one of the best reviewed movies of the year.
* Cinedigm released two films theatrically in the third quarter fiscal 2013;
“Citadel” and “In Our Nature.”
* Cinedigm distributed 2,830 hours of film and TV content to more than 22
digital partners.
* Through the end of the quarter, Cinedigm’s live content on digital
platforms totaled over 2,130 unique films and 365 seasons of TV comprising
over 5,732 episodes.
* Cinedigm acquired 714 hours of new movies and TV series, including the
classic Toei Anime franchise “Digimon,” 22 new festival films from our
Sundance partnership, and the top-rated series “Coast Guard Alaska” &
“Coast Guard Florida” from Al Roker Entertainment.
* With the recently acquired content, the Company's total library is over
18,943 movies and television episodes.
* Digital revenues increased 50% year-to-date versus industry average of
28%.
Software Highlights:
* Dan Sherlock joined in January as the new president of the software
division.
* Signed Southern for our exhibitor management system and our TCC-Enterprise
system.
* Signed LD Entertainment for our TDS product.
* Internationally, software installations began in Ireland and the UK. The
quarter also saw the Company sign the first large scale international
deployment with Caribbean Theaters, who will begin installing our software
in our fiscal fourth quarter. The company expects Australian and New
Zealand installations to also commence in the fourth quarter.
“We are pleased that each of our divisions made significant operational
progress in the last quarter. We exceeded our goals for the now complete Phase
2 domestic deployment, expanded our footprint internationally, released two
independent films domestically with strong ancillary market pre-sales, grew
our feature distribution slate to 13 titles and further expanded our industry
leading home entertainment library with numerous film and television title
acquisitions,” said Chris McGurk, Chairman and CEO. “Importantly, garnering an
Academy Award® nomination for ‘The Invisible War’ has both dramatically
increased awareness of the critical issue of military sexual assault and
underscored that in year one as a complete digitally-focused studio, Cinedigm
is already making a big impact on the entertainment business.”
“We’ve consistently stated that fiscal year 2013 is a year focused on both
investment and growth,” added Adam Mizel, Chief Operating Officer and CFO.
“Cinedigm continues to benefit from the recurring revenues generated by its
installed systems, software maintenance fees, and the inherent operating
leverage embedded in its business model. With the completion of our domestic
Phase 2 deployment at January 31st, we are focused on expanding our
international servicing partnerships, as well as our exhibition and
distribution software client base. In addition, our strong independent film
slate and recent home entertainment acquisitions are setting us up for a
strong start to fiscal 2014.”
Nine-Month Fiscal 2013 Results
For the first nine months of fiscal 2013, revenues increased $7.8 million to
$66.7 million as compared to $58.9 million for the same period year ago.
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations year-to-date was $42.1 million,
compared to $44.8 million in the first nine months of the prior year
reflecting the reduced virtual print fees due to unexpected shifts in the
breadth and timing of various major studio movie releases in July and August.
Consolidated net loss decreased to $9.5 million or $0.21 per share for the
first nine months of the fiscal year compared to a consolidated net loss of
$17.3 million or $0.49 per share in the comparable prior year period.
Fiscal 2013 Outlook
Cinedigm is reaffirming its fiscal 2013 guidance and expects consolidated GAAP
revenues including its deployment units of $91-$97 million, and consolidated
Adjusted EBITDA of $57-$59 million in Fiscal 2013. The Company is also
reaffirming that it expects fiscal 2013 Adjusted EBITDA from non-deployment
operations of $6.7-$7.7 million.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company for the periods presented to be
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, other income,
net, stock-based expenses and compensation, merger and acquisition costs, and
certain other items. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Company
has provided a reconciliation in the tables attached to this release of
Adjusted EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net income (loss). The Company calculated and
communicated Adjusted EBITDA in the tables because the Company's management
believes it is of importance to investors and lenders by providing additional
information with respect to the performance of its fundamental business
activities. The Company's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may or may not be
consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in the same
industry. Investors should not view Adjusted EBITDA as an alternative to the
U.S. GAAP operating measure of net income (loss). In addition, Adjusted EBITDA
does not take into account changes in certain assets and liabilities as well
as interest and income taxes that can affect cash flows. Management does not
intend the presentation of these non-GAAP measures to be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be read only in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP.
